GL '74 Ghia
 

friend's GL (well, for the most part, PO would never admit it though) Ghia. this car is done right...very right. strong recommendation. just needs wider front wheels and some high back seats, IMO. there are a couple of more pics in the last VKG newsletter you can see too. checkout the detail here.

i just realized there is a pic of it in the galleries on here. last page of the "general" section.

sold...to me. :D

shes a beaut Zen congrats!
Whats the official color?
Always loved them KG's gobs of room on that engine compartment! :agree:

congrats man....I am jealous!!!! :D :eek: :mad:

Awesome! :cool:

thanks guys. i'm very happy. a few things to iron out (seat belts...there are none, front rotors are shot, need a backseat), but overall a GREAT car. i know the PO and PPO pretty well. still need to go back and document all of the stats, but here are a few (color is noted, and the you have to be about 3 feet from the car literally to see the flames, so GL safe in my opinion)...

Complete custom interior with Procar seats, Autometer and VDO gauges, 1000-watt stereo, Kenwood head unit and amps, Infinity speakers and subs, original Empi GT wheel, original Porsche Fuchs, 15x5 and 15x7.

Very nice.... looks like it will be a fun car.

Congratulations man..... :D :agree:

you out to sell me that berg tranny for my drag car and put a Porsche 5 speed in that thing.... :D

Sweet Ghia, glad to see you got it. :D

Now I won't be the only one in the club with a Ghia. :laugh:

Zen,
Any chance you might want some C/F parts for your Ghia?

that was rhetorical right? :D not sure what and not sure how much money i am going to throw at this car considering the investment already, but you know i can't leave well enough alone. what do you have for Ghias? how about some Kevlar seats. :laugh: i am going to be working on a custom (but tame, one that anyone would like) center console. maybe we can work on something together there too.

i also have another thought about your site i want to run by you.

i want to touch base with you anyway. give me a call when you are free and i will try to do the same. i am just hanging around all weekend as far as i know.

Joe is so funny! That's like asking if anybody wants to try out Jake's latest engine or maybe volunteer to judge a bikini contest... :laugh:

What a tease... :D
